Dark Age of Camelot is one of the oldest running MMORPGs, released in October 2001 in North America and January 2002 in Europe. Mythic Entertainment created it, and Broadsword Online Games runs it today. After King Arthur's death his lands split into three realms: Arthurian Albion, Celtic Hibernia and Norse Midgard.
Realm versus Realm is the core: the three sides fight over relics, keeps and towers, and over the entrance to the Darkness Falls dungeon. Classes are rigid and balanced for large-scale battles rather than duels. Guilds claim towers, players own houses and run shops, and all expansions are now free.
It suits players who want organized three-faction PvP. The graphics and interface date from the early 2000s, solo play is tough, and there is no Russian. It is subscription-based, with the restricted free Endless Conquest mode available since 2019.
